Hey all, I'm currently working on a website/database system. What i'm trying to achieve atm is for a user to be able to edit current data in a database table, submit it, and for it to display the new data in the webpage. The table i'm reading from has 6 records and the fields ID(which is just auto_incremented) and courseName.
Ideally, I would like the user to be able to delete a record too. The code I have written displays the courseName's in a table along with textareas and a submit button for each row. It seems to be doing nothing at the minute, so I was hoping someone could enlighten me as to what I've done wrong and if someone could provide what code i'm missing if any, i would be ever so grateful I think I might have structured it all wrong, I hope this isn't the case! My current code is below, hope to hear some feedback soon, many thanks, Aaron
PS: feel free to ask any more question in case I've forgot to mention something
<?php
session_start();
$hostname_logon = "***.*.*.*" ;
$database_logon = "aal9" ;
$username_logon = "root" ;
$password_logon = "" ;
$coursenametext = '';
$id = '';
//error_reporting (E_ALL ^ E_NOTICE);
$connections = mysql_connect($hostname_logon, $username_logon, $password_logon) or die ( "Unable to connect to the database" );
mysql_select_db($database_logon) or die ( "Unable to select database!" );
?>
